Neymar sent off as sloppy PSG beats Bordeaux 4-3

Neymar was sent off as Paris Saint-Germain overcame more sloppy defending to beat Bordeaux 4-3 on Sunday and move 13 points clear at the top of the French league.

Neymar made a crude and needless two-footed lunge on midfielder Yacine Adli during injury time and was shown a second yellow card.

Even though he sent Adli flying, Neymar did not accept the decision and it took strike partner Kylian Mbappé to usher the angry Brazil star away from the referee and off the field.

PSG has conceded nine goals in three games and taken heavy criticism off the field in the past few days.

PSG lost 2-1 at Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 game today. Two days later, the players were scolded by coach Thomas Tuchel after a video of them dancing and wildly celebrating at a players’ birthday party circulated on social media.

Yet strangely it was Tuchel – and not the players – who was whistled when the teams took to the field at Parc des Princes.

Tuchel dropped former Real Madrid standout goalkeeper

Keylor Navas, who was replaced by Sergio Rico. But centre half Presnel Kimpembe kept his place, despite his brother aiming an expletivelaced insult at Tuchel on his social network account following the Dortmund loss.

PSG striker Mauro Icardi had a late goal chalked off following a video review, with Mbappé given offside when the cross came in.

It was then that Neymar saw red, and he faces a suspension when PSG needs him to get in top shape for the return leg against Dortmund on March 11.
